Why not? The last Watergate broke via the Washington Post.
Actually I think the question of who breaks the next Watergate may depend on whose ox is being gored. If you're leaking information to bring down a Republican president you'll leak to a left-leaning outlet (like wikileaks) and if you're leaking information to bring down a Democrat president then you'll leak to a right-leaning outlet like the WSJ.
Wikileaks and the WSJ is not perfect symmetry, but it is satisfying to know that all ideological bases are more or less covered.
